Pete Hill and I visited Mandy today in Dorset (near Dorchester, UK) and had a good look over Gigi. It was irresistible not to persuade Mandy to advertise her here for you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To help GIGI sail again soon I am posting this on Mandy's behalf.
This beautiful little boat is waiting to for you to take her sailing again. Robin spared no effort and expense (appx £33,000). She has been lightly used and is a real bargain to be snapped up for the summer season. Ready to go. Take her to the JRA AGM & Brixham Heritage Regatta in May.

Either when seated in her surprisingly large and comfortable cockpit or when going forward along the side decks (with raised gunwalls) you will feel as if you are on a well thought out and designed little ship. A real pocket cruiser that you can tow anywhere you want to go sailing!
Price £11,000 - or very near offer.
Robin would be very thrilled to see her sailing again soon.

The Baycruiser 20 is no longer in production but the slightly bigger Baycruiser 23 is priced at £42,000 (without the junk rig!)
This traditional looking trailer sailer is a gem of a little ship. She is a sheer pleasure to be on and exudes roominess and seaworthiness.
